Weapon from the Stars & The Earth War

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel is Weapon From the Stars by sci-fi great, Rog Phillips. It didn’t take Henry Prince long to realize he was in over his head. His assignment had seemed simple: find some subversives and report them to headquarters. Finding them had been easy. And finding a couple of loyal buddies to help watch his back had seemed a blessing. But then things started getting…strange. Magic summoning coins; shadowy characters that could appear and disappear at will; enigmatic meetings with questionable intent…what was going on here that Henry Prince was somehow missing? Sci-fi great Rog Phillips spins a great intergalactic tale filled with mystery that will perhaps leave you baffled and confused, because what do we truly know in regards to Heaven and Hell? The second novel The Earth War is a fast-moving tale of intrigue and future combat, by top sci-fi author Mack Reynolds. In the days of the twenty-first century…war had completely changed. Most large conventional weapons-with the exception of machine guns-were a thing of the past. Even atomic weapons were no longer used. The weapon of choice-gliders! You see, to keep the peace in this strange world of the future, the forces of both the East and West had agreed to disallow all weapons that had been developed before 1900. And war was limited to disputes between unions and corporations. It seemed to be an effective way of keeping the world from destroying itself. But then an ambitious military officer decided to move beyond the prescribed limitations-and soon the world was in deadly peril again.
